Lesung "Trotzdem Zuhause"

A piece of German history as you’ve rarely heard it:
Growing up in the GDR as the Black daughter of a white dissident

“This is how my story begins. As the daughter of a white woman and a Black man. Between Sange, southern Tanzania, and Gera, Thuringia. Between a colonial past
and the GDR dictatorship.” Tupoka Ogette writes about the search for belonging, about living in contradiction, in the in-between. She tells of growing up as a Black child in the GDR, of escape and
loss, of abuse, body shaming, and abusive relationships, but also of love,
motherhood, resilience, and self-empowerment. Of friendships she forms and those she loses. Of a fresh start in West Germany. And of finding calm in the storm.”
